Yes please That would suck.

Hopefully the Bears won't be screwed into playing a team coming off a week and a half of rest this time.

predicting failure /= rooting against i predicted failure all the time for guys like theriot, paul bako, hank white, juan pierre, glendon rusch, etc. that doesn't mean i was pissed when they succeeded or happy when they failed, though. if you were (while they were on the Cubs), that's kinda weird. There's nothing weird about it. Personally I do it as a sort of hedge. My preference is for the victory at any time, but if something bad happens I take solace that the piece of crap who screwed up is a piece of crap I want gone and hope that his failures will lead to his dismissal. I don't have it in me to stand and cheer against a Cubs player during their at bat/outing, but I can think in my head how easy it would be to accept their inevitable failures.

Sure, but the important thing is that he tried. -
Cardinals nearing extension with Molina
jersey cubs fan replied to NonProfitCow's topic in General Baseball Talk
I don't think there's a dividing line between die hards and casual fans when it comes to appreciating the cost of overpaying for certain players. Plenty of die hards want their favorite players brought back at any cost. -
Ask Bowman, that is all he's done from day one. There is a window, but when a GM trades away one of your better players specifically because of cap purposes down the road, the expectation has to be that he's sacrificing the now for the later.
-
somebody took the jets? I'll take the giants.
-
Not sure why you think that about the Campbell trade. The whole point was giving up a quality player in the short-term for cap space 2-3 years from now. Bowman has done nothing for the now yet. He's been in perpetual figure it out in the future mode, then all of a sudden he trades a 2nd and a 3rd for a 5th defenseman. Seems desperate.
-
That would not necessarily follow at all. That's the entire point. Fast runners can end up playing slow (on a relative basis) on the football field.
-
The phrase "running in pads" doesn't just mean the physical constraints of wearing the football uniform, it's about running down the field with a man in front of you trying to prevent that from happening. 40 times are somewhat informative, but you are really over emphasizing them here.

Castro accused of sexual assault, no charges filed
jersey cubs fan replied to A New Era's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
am I crazy or should random Castro notes go in some other thread than this one? This one is kind of specific and about a completely different topic -
Jeremy Lin needs a bodyguard.

Don't know much about Oduya but I did like the way Chico Resch pronounced his name on Devils games.
-
Detroit traded Commodore to Tampa for a conditional 7th rounder. Listening to Sportsnet.ca's trade deadline live broadcast multiple "experts" are most interested with what the Blackhawks will do, and most teams seem to think they aren't going to do anything.
-
He's not what he once was, but he can probably help a team's passing game.
-
Peter King is a shill. He's plugged in, but he's just a guy NFL people use to spread their own rumors. I know what I think about Moss, given the Bears situation, I'd be all over it. If you can sign him and another guy, then you can wait until the 3rd of so to get a developmental receiver (another Bennett maybe) and spend the draft picks on the other needs. If the Bears had some rookie QB I'd be concerned about Moss's attitude. But he's got no leverage to be a douche, and if they ever want to cut him, that's not going to be a problem. Take the gamble.
-
Well, the rope should only be that long but given how they shot their wad early on his contract extension, that rope is much longer for Bowman.
-
Based on? i don't mean to say that he's going to be the guy we sign, but our best chance at snagging a true #1 receiver. i'm basing this on the fact that he's the only big name FA that doesn't appear to be getting franchised. Oh, okay. I didn't know if you were reading things that made him seem a likely aquisition or just what you said here.

Based on?

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun Follow Following Blackhawks have interest in Jets pending UFA blue-liner Johnny Oduya among others in their d-man search. Jets almost surely will move Oduya http://twitter.com/#!/Real_ESPNLeBrun/status/174153530872041473

Considering how willing everybody in the organization was to take that giant step back last year, this might be the actual wake up call they need to finally stop living off the glory of 2010. Nobody seemed all that upset about having a 1st round exit. Everybody just chalked it up to a hangover and assumed they'd be back this season. But now that they might actually miss the playoffs that nonsense can stop. Bowman has to actually start acquiring impact players at some point. He hasn't done anything but sell so far. I'd be fine if it doesn't happen until the offseason. Missing the playoffs would suck, but maybe this team needs the excuse to fire Q and overhaul the supposed "core" that has done very little since the cup. My biggest concern is Rocky will hesitate to remain financially aggressive, but if he keeps the checkbook even moderately open, they should be much better very soon.

The Bears have plenty of spaces where they could use 1st round talent. They do not need to be tied into any one player or any one position with that first pick. If a guy like Floyd goes before they pick, there will be something else worth taking. I've been saying for a while that the Bears biggest problem is the fact that they have weaknesses on the line and at receiver. Ideally they solve the line completely and make it a strength while also acquiring top notch receiving talent. But in reality, they can win by simply solidifying one of those groups and make marginal improvements to the other. If the Bears wind up with multiple Earl Bennett type receivers, good and productive, but not dominant, they can still thrive on offense if the line does its job. If they get a top notch pass rusher with the 1st pick and only getting 2nd/3rd round talent (plus a free agent or two) to improve the line and receiving corps, the team should still be in good position, assuming they take the right guys.
